Re: Using Profile Chooser with Spyder2 Pro

2008-01-19 by tech4x5

--- Hi John.  I got my calibration working well thanks to your advice a 
few days ago.  My ambient light is moderately low and it recommends a 
white luminance of 125 which I used and that gives me a nice match 
between my moniter and prints.  But the paper white on my moniter is a 
little gray and when I use other programs like MS Word, the white 
background is darker than I'd like.  I thought if I could have another 
calibration profile with a higher White luminance for these instances, 
it would be nice, give me a little more contrast and punch for non 
photo viewing. I guess I could try a profile with a higher White 
Luminance and see if it works for both my photo work and other non 
photo work.  I'm just pretty happy with the moniter and photo print 
match as is and I didn't want to mess with it.
